Great spot, clean and well furnished just as the listing describes. I had read others notes about security but wasn’t clear on what it all meant. There are very good instructions for initial checkin and house manager is very helpful. Just be prepared with patience to follow all the steps in correct order. But once there be prepared to travel as a group for the entire stay. You need a key to leave property and a key to return. A key to enter pool and a key to leave pool. There is one key. We were six adults and didn’t always want to come and go like children going on a field trip. That is my only complaint for an otherwise lovely property but it likely means I won’t return.

Our stay for 2 weeks at Villa Alma Marina were exactly as described, and pretty much in line with many of the previous comments from past guests. Janelle was an outstanding host, providing us all that we needed for a super vacation. For our family, the villa was well located. You could choose the well maintained pool, or take a long stroll on the local beach. I loved that we were not that far from old San Juan and the airport. (35-40 minutes) The villa had all that we needed, and plenty of space for a very relaxing vacation. Restaurants, the supermarket and other stores are a quick drive, with lots of choice. We chose local cuisine, and there are plenty of options. Overall, as stated, a wonderful stay.

Excellent stay! Walking distance to the beach. Calm neighborhood. Many ammenities. Narrow stairs ti the second and third floor, whichnwas no problem for us, but could be an issue with older guests or those with mobility difficulties. Very clean and comfortable. Totally recommend it and will probably book again. Super easy check in and out process and very good communication with property manager.

This is a 3 story condo which I did not realize when I booked it. The outside doesnt look as nice as the pictures but the inside is immaculate. Yes! There are a lot of rules but most of them are common sense ones like not sitting on the couch with wet clothers. The manager communicated consistently with me. The area is very safe and the beach across the street is beautiful and very popular.

The booking process was easy and from the beginning our host did everything to make us feel welcome and let us know how the house could accommodate our toddler.
The house rules were supplied in advance, information on local restaurants and groceries too.
Checkin was easy. Lockbox and clear videos supplied made it all easy!
The beach was about 300 yards from our front door and the cove provided a great calm beach that our almost 2 could enjoy beach and water play.
Wish the playground unlocked before 9am for when we were tryi mg to occupy the little one so her parents could sleep in but the fountain path provided a good distraction.

There were 4 of us - myself, my friend and our 2 daughters (19 & 20 years old). The house was so nice! Plenty of room for all of us - each mom had a room to themselves and the girls shared the room wiht bunk beds. The house was exactly as pictured - very updated and well appointed and had just about everything we needed! Beds were super comfy and the development itself was adorable. Terrific pool and 2 minute walk across the street to the beach area! Loved that the house was in a gated community - felt VERY safe!! Neighborhood had good options for restaurants.
The VRBO host and the property manager were AMAZING in terms of answering questions, providing recommendations, etc. Simply terrific.
Only downside was needing a car to get any/everywhere and there is only 1 entrance/exit to the development that is quite a ways from the house. Also - no dishwasher :)

4.0
A very nice unit that matched the pictures and description. Check in was a little complicated as there are multiple gates/security points to get through and we had trouble initially connecting with the host. But we eventually got in and the place was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable for our family. It's a short walk to a lovely, quiet beach area - we had wanted to avoid the crowds in San Juan so in this respect the place was great. Only downside is that there are a lot of rules and they are posted in every room of the unit. The condo complex also has extensive security that imposed additional rules - which makes you feel safe, which is a good thing, but it also makes it hard to fully relax. And some of the "rules" are quite arbitrary, e.g. a security guard came through and claimed that kids weren't allowed to jump into the pool, even though the posted signs clearly say nothing about this. Overall, mostly a good find and a nice stay, but the rules are a bit much!

Stayed in this Dorado walkup for 4 nights w multigenerational family. Property was well equipped and clean. Beach in front is ok but the public beach (balneario) 5 min walk is truly beautiful and better. Many good restaurants within walking distance. Manager was attentive and responsive.

It is an excellent Villa with amazing location - 2 min walking to the beach, 5 min away from restaurants, grocery stores, cvs,etc. The host went above and beyond to ensure you would feel welcomed and at home. Small thoughtful touches include kitchen sticker with dressings, coffee, teas, water; bathrooms had toothpaste and cotton pads. So many great recommendations on restaurants and activities. Highly recommend staying at the Villa and enjoying the art work there. Many works are from local artists.

We stayed for a week. The property was wonderful- clean, quiet and very well stocked. We liked the pool and having access to the great beaches. Inarú couldn’t have been more helpful- she always got right back to us and answered all questions no matter how silly! Thanks for a great week!

We had such a good time hanging out on the porch and spent a great deal of time sight-seeing and enjoying our family vacation. So, we were really only in the town house to sleep and during beach time. We are a family of 7 with 4 Daughters and a Son ranging in age from 10-21 yrs olds. Everyone was super comfortable in the beds and air conditioning worked great throughout the home.
There are a good amount of stairs but I loved the needed exercise.
Inarú, was very responsive always and made sure we had what we needed.
It was a great time and we will definitely stay again and recommend.

This property is very near a small beach, within walking distance from several very good restaurants and bars (take the nearby path along the beach instead of walking all the way through the main security gate). Accommodations are perfect, and the property manager was highly available and easygoing.

We loved this villa. The checkin was easy and really nice as we were greeted by the property manager. We didn’t use the kitchen, however it was fully equipped. We were happy to find beach chairs, a cooler to take along with us on our excursions and plenty of house and beach towels. The neighborhood is safe, secure and quiet. The loudest neighbors were a nest of pigeons…LOL! We loved the birds singing in the morning. The beds were comfy. EVERYTHING was very clean! Cleanliness is super important to us! Modern and sleek. We would definitely stay here again and are already sharing the property with family and friends for their vacations!

We had a very nice stay. It’s close to the beach and walkable to restaurants (though be careful, they do close gate between restaurants and apartment sharply at 9 pm — we almost didn’t make it back in time!).

The Perfect Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at Dorada Del Mar. This townhouse is spacious with modern and beautiful finishes. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware. You have a beautiful view of the ocean and can walk to a fun beach in seconds. The beach was best for relaxing and also had some neat areas for snorkeling. We cannot recommend this place enough!

Very happy with our stay, MGM was great and home was just as advertisement shows, beautiful
